Golyat

The Golyat are a large, horned race native to the island of Halit off the southern coastal tip of southeastern Farore.

Appearance
The Golyat are taller and more physically robust than humans. They have skin of varying degrees of grey, white hair, pointed ears and vivid eyes with colors like violet, red, silver, or yellow.

Most Golyat have horns. Like human fingernails, Golyat horns have no nerve endings and can be removed. However, unlike fingernails, the horns cannot grow back. The number and style of horns varies depending on the individual; however, a majority have one or two pairs.

History
The Golyat arrived on the island of Halit during the Third Era, from an unknown land to the south. They once threatened to conquer the Sun elf kingdoms, but after the Golyat Wars, they lost much of their conquered lands outside of Halit. Since then, they have existed in peace with the Sun elves.

Triumvirate
The Golyat are led by three separate leaders, representing the three castes in Golyat society. The Jirek is the leader of the craftsmen caste, the Tomas is the leader of the military caste and the Lovas is the leader of the religious caste.

Religion
The Golyat worship animistic gods known as The Four.

The corpse of a Golyat is given no special treatment, as the Golyat believe the soul is the true person.
